Face The Sun Gaia McDermott

...why have you forsaken me?

What's in the name Gaia? 
A short episode on the background of my name. 

Given the U.S. Supreme Court decision Friday, I'm reposting my series on abortion.
The first episode is my personal story and why I changed my mind on this serious and personal decision. Email me at FaceTheSun2020@gmail.com if you wish to discuss.

I had a great time getting to know Ben Dubow who is co-pastor of Riverfront Family Church in Hartford, CT (link/website below). We intended a conversation with another pastor and me moderating but our schedules never matched up. Instead, Ben discussed his personal stories and the paths that have lead him to where he is today. 
I hope you enjoy the episode.

I was privileged to be on an episode of "Unbelievable?" this past week which was just released.  I had a discussion with Preston Ulmer who wrote The Doubters Club. I spent some time focusing on Street Epistemology and the Naked Pastors' book, Questions Are the Answer.

I have been to a couple of places of worship these past few months that I'll do an episode on soon.  
I visited the Hartford Monthly Meeting (Quakers) on Sunday, Jan. 9th. It was an experience I won't soon forget. I thought the people and the place were wonderful. If you live in or around the area, it's worth a visit. Please see the link below for more information.
